ECM, UNWTO, ETC & MODUL University Vienna cordially welcome participants to 11th TOURMIS USERS’ WORKSHOP & MONITORING SUSTAINABILITY: INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL TOURISM INDICATORS FOR MEASURING TOURISM DEVELOPMENT VIENNA, September 10-11, 2015 #TourMIS2015 TOURMIS WORKSHOP Dear Delegate, It is our pleasure to welcome you to this two-day event which has been organized jointly by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), European Travel Commission (ETC), European Cities Marketing (ECM), and MODUL University Vienna. We believe that the challenging topics selected for these events are crucial issues in the current agenda of most tourism organizations. The evaluation and monitoring of marketing activities is a vital step in helping tourism managers to develop marketing strategies. Nowadays technology provides valuable support to facilitate the performance of complex analyses and TourMIS, the leading tourism marketing information system in Europe, effectively serves this aim. By attending the workshop on the first day, led by Professor Karl Wöber, founder of TourMIS, with contributions from various colleagues and practitioners, participants will learn how to enter tourism statistics into the system and how to use the various benchmarking tools to produce valuable market research reports. The international seminar on “Monitoring Sustainability: Environmental and Social Tourism Indicators for Measuring Tourism Development” on day 2 is jointly organized by ECM, ETC and UNWTO. Even though sustainable tourism has been a hot topic for many years, monitoring sustainability remains a daring challenge for most destination management organizations. Practitioners within the tourism sector often struggle to go beyond the economic dimension of sustainable tourism, not by lack of interest but because they miss good data material or simply do not know where to start. Through the seminar day, the international experts in the speaker lineup will provide participants with a number of actionable tools and best practices which can be readily used at a destination or company level. Eventually, the ambitious objective of this event is no less than helping European destinations being truly more sustainable. Both days have been planned to encourage the active participation of delegates in the program. We are looking forward to meeting you for a motivating and challenging few days in Vienna!
